Apparently I have malware on my computer. It started when a window opened covering my desktop with the message- Warning,your computer is infected. Click here to download software. I ran AVG with no success. I then ran MS Anti spyware and Webroot Spysweeper. They both picked up some spyware which was removed. After several reboots the web page that was covering my desktop is now white to light grey and appears to flash randomly. At the same time this problem started my router stopped working. I had to unplug from the router and plug into the DSL Modem directly to go online. I don't know if this is related to this prob. or not?!?! I have followed all directions on your Malware page.(Update)-Right now I have WinPatrol,A-Squared,SpySweeper,MSAnti Spyware,SpyBot SD resident,AVG Free Edition and Sygate Personal Edition. The only program that picks up anything is SpyBot S+D which gets rid of everything but WebFun ProductsWhich it says it can get rid of on system restart but on restart it picks up FunWebProducts again with the same message(I included the message as an atachment to show you).This problem doesn't seem to effect the system much(maybe a little slower)Update-The window is gone but now my computer is super slow-5 to 10 mins. to load a browser window or program but what do I know. I don't want to spread it. I hope you can help me. Thanks for any help! Here's the HijackThis report-

HijackThis keeps freezing when it reachs>)023-NT Services...But it let me run>Generate Startuplistin the misc.tools. I don't know if this will help but that's all it will let me do!! Sorry. Maybe a format is in line?

Never mind my ranting. I just ran it again and after about 1/2 hour it became responsive again. :killcomp:It's really slowed down. Clicking on a menu or program can take several seconds to over a minute to open. So here's the report-Logfile of HijackThis v1.99.1Scan saved at 6:17:07 PM, on 06/30/2005Platform: Windows XP SP2 (WinNT 5.01.2600)MSIE: Internet Explorer v6.00 SP2 (6.00.2900.2180)

Just an update. Running ActiveScan again. Started it 10:00 last nite. Was still running at 3:00 this afternoon. While scanning I click on start/all progs/favorites/link to my forum post to let you know what was going on and a open with (window)opened. IE should have opened insted. So I clicked the X to close it and all my windows closed including the ActiveScan window . So I just restarted ActiveScan again . Oh, when everything closed a small error window opened-[7-Zip unspecified Error] Should ActiveScan take this long? Thanks!!!

Well Excal, looks like it's almost done(over 20 hours). The last time I ran it and it was shut down it showed 8 infections. This time it has scanned farther and only shows 4 infections. Could the other ones have been repaired automaticly when it shut down unexpectedly? As soon as it's done I'll post the results along with a fresh HJT report!

Hi Excal, This activbeScan took about 24 hours but it's finally done. As far as how my computer is running- Every time I click on something it takes forever to open and I mean forever. I seem to have plenty of ram. Anywhere from 100 megs to 295 megs depending on what I'm doing. It seems to freeze everything so I can't do anything till it loads. As requested here are the reports. Thanks again for your time.
